We now have a brilliant line up of experts who will help us to shape our views on the reforms necessary to ensure that UK pensions meet the needs of the future.”
The conference is designed for all those involved in strategy, policy, decision making, marketing, distribution, compliance and pensions operations. It will be held on Wednesday 26 November at HQS Wellington commencing at 12.00.

The Tax Incentivised Savings Association (TISA)
TISA is the premier trade association in the UK retail savings and investment industry. By engaging with member firms, government, political parties, regulators and consumer groups TISA’s ultimate goal is always to further consumers’ best interests. It seeks to improve the range, features and quality of savings and investment schemes available whilst at the same time encouraging more people to save for their long term financial security and peace of mind.
Uniquely, TISA is able to articulate the opinions of the whole savings and investments marketplace through its membership which comprises over 120 member firms involved in the supply or distribution of products to the sector and its consumer interest. TISA’s remit extends across the broad spectrum of government sponsored savings and investment vehicles including:
• Individual Savings Accounts (ISAs)
• Child Trust Funds (CTFs)
• Saving Gateway
• Personal Pensions and Personal Accounts
• Investment Bonds
• Employer based pension schemes
• Wraps and platforms
• Other consumer-centric savings schemes and initiatives.
HM Government uses TISA’s market knowledge and ability to represent the views of both the savings and investments industry and consumers to help it to deliver its policy in this area. Recent TISA successes include improvements to the ISA, the regime in which ISAs operate and simplification of the CTF.
